As I said, cost's of anything are not a straight curve. We probably will never know the reason they leveled out. The real way for all us to know if they leveled out is, "what happened to our Ins cost?" My Kaiser bill and deductions has changed very little the last few years. But it has gone up some.

the answer and reply to the allegation healthcare costs have come down due to obamacare. heart surgeon and ex-senator from Tennessee answers the latest claim by obama administration that healthcare costs have come down due to obamacare. he says in this short video, in answer to isaacson's dem party line claim, that five studies have been done in past 40 years looking at this, and what is found is medical costs go up 2% over inflation in any time period. when the econ is going all right, medical costs go up. when the economy is not going all right (like the past five or six years) medical costs flatten with the decline in the economy. (still at 2% of inflation) thus the apparent decline in medical costs is nothing more than the decline in the economy and inflation having declined a lot. the video is only about 3 minutes long, and it addresses this issue pretty completely with data and five studies in last 40 years (he says). this is the info to use the next time the obama people toss out lower medical cost red herrings. video.cnbc.com
